Hmmm, this movie wasn't really bad. The training might have been a little more severe than the first "18 Bronzemen", but it didn't look like it had enough action. The ending left me off, but I think there was a part 3, so I will look for that later. The movie was still okay though, just not better than the classic first one. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

I really expected this movie to be just as good as the first one. The story was not put together well and ended with many loose ends. Had it not been for the fight scenes and the 18 Bronzemen, I would have given this movie a "1". Don't get too excited about buying this movie. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| Once again, star Carter Wong and director Joseph Kuo team up to bring us this second of three installments of the 18 Bronzemen. This movie is very consciously fashioned after the first film, though the plotline and characters are different from the first. As a sequel, the production goes for the bigger and better product, and, indeed, the result rivals the original film. The film wastes little time in development, efficiently setting up the plot and characters --- so much so that Carter Wong is entering the chamber of Bronzemen probably within the first 20 minutes. His trials and battles are excellent and spectacular, as good if not better than the first film. He must enter the chamber on several occasions, and the multiple trials occupy the bulk of the film --- to the delight of the viewer. Carter Wong plays a villian here which creates some moral dilemmas late in the film. The film ends somewhat abruptly and clumsily such that the final payoff is unclear. But this can be easily overlooked by this fine follow-up that does not disappoint. If you liked the original, you will definitely love this sequel. |
| | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | Great review. I agree that the scences with the Bronzemen are much better in part two. There are some problems with the plot but overall this is still a really fun movie to watch. | DW53911 |
